I've shot +P ammunition, mostly of the 158 grain lead SWC version, through a variety of K-Frame revolvers including a deliberate test last summer when a 1904 vintage M&P was used to fire 5 cylinders-full of 158 grain lead +P ammunition.

The same ammunition has been tested in a 1966 Colt Detective Special and is carried in same revolver. Other Colt revolvers that have been used with +P ammunition include a 1953 Official Police, a 1944 Commando, and a 1913 Army Special. All handled the +P 158 grain SWC-HP loads fine.

It's just not the revolver-destroying demon that so many find so concerning.
